How to make a thermometer show an elevated temperature?

If the doctor isn't watching, you can shake the thermometer down to 36.6°C by flipping it and tapping it gently. But if they're nearby, it's better to take two drops of iodine on a sugar cube before the appointment.

Usually, as long as the thermometer is with you, the GP doesn't leave the room, so—alas.

Rub the armpits with salt.

I'm begging you, no need for pepper, salt is enough

Back in childhood, it worked like a charm

I agree, I always do that))

I used to put it against the radiator and show it to my mum))

So what exactly needs to be done? Apply it to the armpits or take it internally?)

Ha! The radiator... that's so mainstream.

Holding the thermometer to a lamp (a desk lamp, for instance) works very well.

You'll get the desired temperature in just five seconds.

Another good trick is to stir your tea with the thermometer – that'll also quickly paint the numbers you need))

The main thing is not to let it jump close to forty!)

Two drops of iodine on sugar, and then what do you do with them?

Internally, of course!!!

What nonsense is this, that you can't tell the doctor you still feel unwell, that you had a fever at night but brought it down with paracetamol to avoid suffering? I always do that, even when I'm ill without a fever, because I rarely get one, but that doesn't make it any easier...

Don't eat, don't sleep at night, come to the appointment in such a state, say that you had a fever in the evening and felt unwell, with weakness and aching bones (and indeed, the temperature usually rises in the afternoon).

Rub the thermometer against your trouser leg or sleeve. The friction will give you the desired temperature.)))

Rub yourself with salt or tuck a bottle of hot water under your arm.

But it's easier to hand a box of sweets to the doctor and be ill as long as you like.

Your text_here!!! Finally, some sensible thoughts.... instead of all that nonsense_ like sticking a thermometer up your backside and so on.)))

Oh, you've really worn out the doctors with your sweets!!!

I'm fed up with your nitpicking, I no longer know how to politely write about a bribe. Bring whatever you like—hand-knitted socks, oil wells, it makes no difference.

In short, I didn't go on the scheduled day)) I'll go on Tuesday, I'll say I had a high temperature and slept the whole day))) where will they send me off to write it down?

Nowadays, with digital thermometers, you can't just rub them to fake a reading, so how will you manage that in front of the doctor? Just have a straightforward chat with the doctor, like a normal person. No need to come up with all sorts of nonsense.

Everything's fine. They've settled everything for me as of today, backdated the entries. Grumbled a bit. And without any boxes of chocolates or the like.

Played the simpleton card))

And no absences either.

There is dog poop, temperature 39+... I haven't checked) someone check it please((

Damn, I need to get sick for about four days because we've got this annoying class representative; I don't feel like doing anything. She conveniently got sick herself on Friday, but as soon as Monday rolled around, she magically recovered.

Tap the top of the thermometer with something hard (just not the one with mercury), like we used to give the thermometer a good whack in childhood.

Get well soon.

Thanks, really effective method))

But if it's an electronic thermometer, no matter how much you shake it or try, it's useless! You really need to raise the temperature!!!

doesn't help me

Can I use regular salt from a salt shaker?

Give the doctor a box of sweets and a week off school with 100% certainty.

I want to be sick for a week))*

really helps, thanks

You can pretend that you have a sore neck, like it's myositis, and just stay in bed without getting up and all that.

Tap it gently or keep it near a lamp.

Is that tasty or the opposite, bleeeeh?

What will happen if you put a thermometer against a radiator????

How about an electronic thermometer then?

How long will it take for the temperature to change if you mix sugar and iodine?

How long does it take for the temperature to rise if you take sugar with iodine??

Cheers) It helped)

What should I do if I knocked, but the temperature got stuck like this? It goes down on the left, but it's stuck on the right.

Oh, never mind, I've sorted it all out fine)

To get a temperature reading, you need to heat the water and carefully place a thermometer in a glass of hot water.

Guys, why are you doing all this? You're just harming your bodies with pencil lead and iodine with sugar. But if you're so keen on skipping school or work, then take some office glue and apply it inside your nostrils, BUT DON'T OVERDO IT. And you'll be guaranteed to get sick.

15 drops of iodine

Place it under the hot water tap. And if you overdo it, then give it a shake afterwards.

Eating a pencil lead raises +37, verified :)

tasty sweet iodine

Of course, it's slightly off-topic, but still... here's how I do it. We'll need two thermometers: the first one is, you could say, the regular one, and the second is the decoy. For instance, in the evening, I tell my parents that I have a slight temperature, and Mum says we'll check again in the morning. In the evening, we heat our decoy thermometer to the desired temperature... by warming it against a lamp, radiator, tea, or with warm water in the bathroom, and then we go to bed with our decoy thermometer... hiding it somewhere in the bed. In the morning, they hand us the first thermometer, and we very carefully swap it for the decoy one... the temperature is ready.

this is nonsense
